The winner of season five was Helena after winning a 5-2 jury vote against Mike. Winter won the Fan Favorite prize which was voted on via audience vote.

Set Design and Theme
In the shows fifth season, the house was moved to a different lot then the first four seasons, it retained a similar layout though the bedrooms (aswell as the have not room) moved to where the bathroom was, and the bathroom was moved upstairs to where the have not room was. The house was given a "mid-century modern" theme. Eviction interviews also moved to a much bigger separate studio from the main house.

Twists
Thirteen houseguests were originally announced on August 7, 2017 to be entering the house. On premiere night, it was revealed that the houseguest Mike was going to be playing with his twin brother Adam, and that they would routinely switch places in the Diary Room. If the twins survived 5 evictions, they would each earn $10,000 and would be able to play the game as two separate players. The twist was revealed to the houseguests on Day 43 during a double eviction episode. Mike and Adam ended up placing 2nd and 4th respectively.
